Hello and Welcome!

This blog is about the experiences of two sisters as they travel the world on and off over several years. Our blog starts with our first major backpacking trip in 2010 to Southeast Asia. After catching the travel bug, we subsequently explored the world both individually and together. From seeing the colosseum in Rome, to trekking to Manchu Picchu in Peru, to rock climbing in Joshua Tree, we have allowed our experiences to help us grow in few ways other things can. Our goal for this blog is not only to capture our memories, but to share all of our experiences with the people we love! We hope you enjoy!

Cambodia Pictures - School and Orphanage




We arrive at Angkor Peak Sneng JHS


A classrom full of students

 
The entire class poses with us outside the school

The school's dining area

The dorms for the scholarship students. They live here throughout their studies.

Alison looking at a grade 7 math textbook in the library. It is very similar to
what Canadian students in grade 7 learn!

 
Alison and the teacher who toured us around the school.

Caitlin and Alison pose outside the main entrance of the school.

The Children's Development Village (CDV) is the orphange we visited. 

Caitlin inside one of the dorms for girls. It was very clean
and organized - unlike the dorm for the boys ;)

 Art done by children at the orphanage

This art looks a lot like things that we used to make when we were young.

The girl's dorm where the dorm-mother had a dream of a ghost who told
her that to protect the children the dorm had to be painted colourfully.

The garden that feeds all the children in the orphanage.

Caitlin eating a bean fresh from the garden.

The children eat lunch: rice, chicken and greens.

This beautiful girl was one of the least shy children we met. She
would come up to us and giggle (she couldn't speak English).
